How many here suffer from body odor? and How do you cope with it?

I beleve that I have candida, a leaky gut condition, as well as some autoimmune activity which exacerbates my condition. I also believe that I suffer from Body Odor . I have never smelled this odor and my family doesn't think I smell, nevertheless people sneeze, sniffle, and hold their nose around me all the time. I can be standing in a line at the grocery store or wherever and people will stay as far away from me as possible. I used to be a middle school teacher for 8 years until I came down with this and my students and several other faculty members noted that my room always smelled like shit. This occured in 2 separate school sites.


i think the odor can be attributed to the acetylaldehyde production from candida metabolism. I also believe that Acetylaldehyde besides creating its own chemical odor, is a carrier of other odors. So if I do in fact have leaky small or large intestines these odors are seeping into other parts of my body, i.e. the circulatory system and then eventually passing out through my skin.

Another observation, I have periods of flushing, like I have some kind of fever, and am fighting off something.. (probably the candida dieoff) It's at these times that I seem to smell the worst, illicit the strongest reaction from people.

P.S I think I could actually handle the sinusitis, migraines, and flu like symptoms at the end of a long day, if that's all there was to this insidious condition. It's the Body Odor that is absolutely killing me and preventing me from resuming my career, supporting my family etc... And having absolutely no support from the Medical Community just makes it that much worse.


Sorry for the rant. I would love to hear from anybody that has similar experiences and or thoughts about this.
